We are a group of people of various backgrounds: charity volunteers, students, graduates, professionals of various sectors, artists, British, asylum seekers, refugees, EU nationals… willing to engage in the cultural battle for racial equality.
We want to take the discussion about prejudice and racism further. The experience of discrimination by ethnic minority communities does not only rely on overt racism. It comes from misinformation, prejudice and innocence yet biased perceptions too, which all form narratives. Our objective is to change these damaging narratives.
WRITE TO US to share biased media stories you have come across and explain where the bias is.
WRITE TO US to report alternative local stories, to show different untold realities, shed a different light and propose a different narrative.
We are inclusive. All formats accepted: short articles, longer essays, audio recordings, videos, interviews. All English levels and written styles are accepted. Our language is different because our narratives are.
You can contact us by emailing admin@equanicity.org or via Twitter @equanicityuk
